Interswitch

The interswitch of this ra-
dar uses an Ethernet to
transfer video and con-
trol signals. A digital sig-
nal transfers the video
and control signals. You
can connect two anten-
nas and two display units. Set radar display and antenna groups from the [ANTENNA
SELECT] display.
When you switch to a different antenna, the heading skew and timing adjustment (set
at installation) for that antenna are automatically applied.
The [ANTENNA] box at the upper left position shows current antenna selection.
